In our first segment, Don Williams talks about a bike brand you’ve probably never heard of: the new Benda Napoleonbob 500. It’s a really nice looking entry or intermediate level cruiser-style bike, and yes, it’s from China. Don gives us the lowdown on its performance, quality, and of course, its price.

Our guest for this episode is Gary Christopher. When I first started around 25 years ago, Gary was the Senior PR manager for American Honda motorcycles. Of course with a lifelong career at Honda he’s seen some incredible things, and ridden a few bikes that you’ve probably never even heard of. His stories are dripping with nostalgia, and even if his time was before your interest in motorcycling got started, his knowledge and experiences are an absolute treat to hear.
